"...oh, determination is fading fast,
inspiration is a thing of the past,
can't see how my hope's gonna last,
good things are bad, and what's happy is sad..."

You know the rest....

[144man]

Day in, day out, my tearstained face pressed against the window pane,
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain,
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm crying, crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would rain.

[RossHolloway]

People movin out, people movin in
Why out? Because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide.

And eye for an eye,
a tooth for a tooth,
Vote for me and I'll set ya free.

Rap on brotha, rap on.

"You surely must know magic girl
Cause you changed my life
It was dull and ordinary
But you made it sunny and bright"

[Philles/Motown Gary]

With every step I make, every breath I take
I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you
Undo the wrong I've done, undo the wrong I've done
I've been unfaithful I know it's true but I'll make it up to you

Baby all, ALL I NEED, is just to hear you say
You'll forgive me, forgive me baby
All, ALL I NEED, to have you touch my hand
Say you'll understand

[rovereab]

I thought I'd add a duet to this interesting thread.....

Then you walked away I just stood there numb
I had nothing to say
Into the night you walked away with my life
And feeling almost half my size
I looked up and the heaven's eyes
Smile was gone we used to see
She knew that you were standing there with me.

Why must we fall in love to find out how to cry?
Build up trust, then tear it down, oh tell me why
When it takes so long to make it
And no time at all to break it off.

"Ball Of Confusion [[That's What The World Is Today)" second verse:

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting

'End the war' and the band played on

[caliluv]

To get fire from a match, you've got to strike it
[[Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it)
To get the feeling from a kiss, you've got to like it
[[Like it, like it, like it, like it)

To get ashes from wood, you've got to burn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You've got to earn it[[Earn it, earn it, earn it)

Enough gold in her personality, to set Fort Knox to shame.
this golden girl belongs to me, Yet you know Eli tried
To stake his claim on my baby.

When you're on the top,
Everyone you meet, they wanna be your long-lost friend
They say how great you are,
A superstar,
But do you have any money to lend [[say, man, can you loan me a few bucks?)
When you're on the low,
Where do all the freaks and fans and people go? [[I don't know!)
I don't know!
People sit and stare
Asking crazy questions: "Do you braid your hair?"
"And what's L-7 square?"

[Methuselah2]

"I want a love I can see;
That's the only kind that means a thing to me.
Don't want a love you have to tell me about;
That kind of loving I can sure do without."
--Wm. 'Smokey' Robinson

[PhillyKen]

got to think this is one of the best lines of all time.....

Papa was a rolling stone, wherever he layed his hat was his home, and when he died,all he left us was alone.

[Philles/Motown Gary]

All my hopes and dreams are forgotten now
All the apples in my barrel are rotten now
Standing on a mountain of misery
Loneliness is my only company

Oh, when ya gonna come home Cindy
When will you be homeward bound
I'm in need of you and the love we knew
Cindy

[mysterysinger]

If it's love that you're running from, there's no hiding place.
Love has problems I know but there problems, we'll just have to face.
If you just put your hand in mine,
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind.
We're gonna walk and don't look back.

[Motown Eddie]

Here's one;
"Stop right there, let me picture you in my mind for the last time
Soon you'll be walking out of my life, let me gaze upon you for the last time
I need something to hold on to, something to carry me through.

From "Just One Last Look"

[Philles/Motown Gary]

There's a big black cloud hanging over my head
It's a cloud of loneliness and I feel like I'm dead,
Ain't no flowers bloomin' down at the shore
Since you chose to love me no more

I guess you know you took my sunshine
Away from me, baby, ya did
Girl, ya took the light from my world
Crushed my dreams and I don't mean maybe, yeah
And I'm tellin' you there
Ain't no sun since you've been gone

There's a glaring omission on this thread, or is it just my imagination?
